Berlin - Oliver Samwer once called himself the most aggressive man on the Internet . Yet during Rocket Internet SE s last annual meeting on 24 September last year - which all took place online - his aggression was nowhere to be found. As founder, CEO and shareholder at the Berlin-based company, Samwer stuck to the script. He answered questions from investors mechanically, and only rarely looked up from his notes. His message? Rocket Internet is turning its back on the stock exchange - the group would apparently be better positioned as an unlisted company .
Elliott Advisors may make another bid for Aryzta, although it is understood that the US fund has yet to make a decision on whether to do so after its initial offer for the baked goods company lapsed.
The board of Aryzta last week rejected an offer of CHF0.80 (€0.74) per share from the US hedge fund which valued the company at €734m after careful review and a unanimous decision by the board.
Elliott yesterday confirmed that its binding offer for Aryzta had now lapsed, although it declined to comment on what steps it would take now.
The brief statement from the group said noted the decision by the board of Aryzta to reject its offer.
